"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." -Cicero

THE SANDBAGGING OF AMERICA

He got me too. And I know better. When the press, I mean ALL the mainstream press get together to sell, I mean tell a story, it is done so because they are obeying orders higher up the food chain. It is because they are furthering an agenda. It should always be a red flag. When will we learn? I think I have posted one favorable Ed Snowden story...and as I was doing it I did not listen to what my gut was telling me, but listened to what my heart was telling me. And "the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked". -W.E.

I was wrong. When I first heard that Edward Snowden was exposing the
NSA on PRISM, I thought, good… let it all come out. After all the
scandals and crap Obama has been getting away with, like most of
America, I wanted something to come out. To get some exposure for the
bad guys. I was played. Then I sat down, listened to my gut and thought about it for a bit.My first inkling that I had it wrong, was when John Bolton came out and called Snowden a traitor
and said he was guilty of an act of war. Bolton is someone I admire a
great deal. He contended that Snowden had given ‘aid and comfort to the
enemy.’ And indeed, he has.

I then had a discussion with my friend Trevor Loudon of New Zeal. He and Cliff Kincaid
have looked extensively at Snowden and his connections to the avowed
Marxist, Glenn Greenwald. If you will remember, Snowden released his
revelations to Greenwald, The Guardian and The Washington Post (both
papers are liberal rags). You should know Greenwald, he addressed the International Socialist Organization‘s Socialism 2011 conference in Chicago:

Al-Qaeda hoped a single attack on U.S. soil, very minimal
in scope compared to the level of deaths that the United States has
been bringing to the world for decades–from Vietnam to illegal wars in
Central America–would trigger bankruptcy-inducing policies. Ironically,
the only thing that can truly strengthen America’s national security is a
weakening of America.

There is a valid argument that Snowden’s betrayal is a case of Chinese espionage.
The Russians are also offering asylum. He is backed and supported by
Russia Today, Iranian Press TV and by Al Jazeera. Julian Assange of
WikiLeaks fame is also supporting him. George Soros’ Free Press and
CODEPINK are right there cheering Snowden on. It’s a who’s who of bad guys on Snowden’s team. But wait, it gets better. Snowden’s story is Swiss cheese for spooks.Here are a few inconvenient facts on Snowden:

The guy is a high school dropout. How did he get a classified position with the NSA?

So, tell me how an obviously progressive liberal decides suddenly to
stand up for the Constitution and throw his life away? Sounds like a
Marxist feint to me.He is also a supremely crappy spy. From BlackFive:

WASHINGTON — The source had instructed his media contacts
to come to Hong Kong, visit a particular out-of-the-way corner of a
certain hotel, and ask — loudly — for directions to another part of the
hotel. If all seemed well, the source would walk past holding a Rubik’s
Cube.

I would not call that ‘spy tradecraft.’ I would call it stupid.

He is deeply worried about being spied on. He lines the
door of his hotel room with pillows to prevent eavesdropping. He puts a
large red hood over his head and laptop when entering his passwords to
prevent any hidden cameras from detecting them.

Gee, next thing he’ll be making Star Trek YouTubes and line dancing.
Oh no… wait… that’s the IRS. Sorry, it’s so hard to keep my alphabet
agencies straight these days. Snowden just out of the blue decided to do the “patriotic thing” and
take a powder. Just ask Snowden’s pole dancing girlfriend whom he dumped
in Hawaii when he made his revelations:

Snowden claimed he could wiretap anyone (including the President), which is a lie. He used a banned thumb drive to “collect data,” or so he would have us believe:

That claim is “absolutely outrageous,” former NSA and CIA
director Michael Hayden tells The Daily Beast. Snowden “was not a
collector,” and no low-ranking contractor like him would have the
authority to access anyone’s phone calls or read anybody’s emails. Robert Deitz, a former top lawyer at the NSA and CIA, agrees that
Snowden’s boast is a “complete and utter” falsehood. “First of all it’s
illegal,” he tells the Los Angeles Times. “There is enormous oversight.
They have keystroke auditing. There are, from time to time, cases in
which some analyst is [angry] at his ex-wife and looks at the wrong
thing and he is caught and fired.”

Any software engineer can tell you that keystroke software is dirt
common these days as employers try to keep tabs on their employees. You
seriously think that Snowden pulled this off without help? He was given
this information. Mark my words.Wonder how much money they paid him to turn on his country? How much
does treason pay these days? I believe Obama and company are behind all
of this. Remember, Edward is closely connected to an avowed Marxist and
within the public/private/secret organizational structures surrounding
the hard left groups, it is entirely plausible that he’s simply acting
as a red shirt — or is that a red herring? — to grab public sentiment,
so it can be turned against the NSA, which would make him a
Constitutional traitor, but a loyal foot soldier for the Administration.Don’t get me wrong. I don’t trust the NSA or any other government agency. But we are being suckered here. Obama, in true Alinsky style,
has basically destroyed our military, discredited the Secret Service
and defanged the CIA. Let me ask you this. If the NSA wouldn’t play ball
with the Obama Administration on going after radical Islamists,
wouldn’t it be plausible that they would use a tool like Snowden to try
and bring them down? Notice how the IRS and FBI are being protected by
Obama. Both are following the Dhimmi line of giving Islamists a pass,
but ‘get’ those awful Christians and Tea Party folk! Obama is redoing
the military and CIA with his chosen cadre to follow his wishes. Next up
– the NSA. Sure the NSA needs policing, but they are one of our last
defenses in the war against radical Islam and Obama will gut them over
this. It is their job to sniff out terrorists here and abroad. Obama is
removing another pesky obstacle to radical Islam and Sharia law. I am
against violating our Constitutional rights, but tread carefully here.
In the name of security, we are about to strip ourselves defenseless. In
the name of Constitutional rights, we will chain ourselves to a
dictator. Obama’s ultimate goal is to destroy our intelligence agencies
and the military. He is close to doing so.From Cliff Kincaid:

“The Signals Intelligence mission [of the NSA] collects,
processes, and disseminates intelligence information from foreign
signals for intelligence and counterintelligence purposes and to support
military operations,” the NSA’s website
says. “This Agency also enables Network Warfare operations to defeat
terrorists and their organizations at home and abroad, consistent with
U.S. laws and the protection of privacy and civil liberties.”

Notice how this has taken attention off the IRS scandal, the AP
scandal and Benghazigate. It’s “oh-look-a-dandelion” folks and we are
falling for it, dividing ourselves and fighting over whether this clown
is a hero or a traitor. He’s an internal double agent serving the
progressive agenda pure and simple.German political subversion expert Torsten Mannsays it best:

The highest art of psychological warfare is to disinform
the public not by spreading lies but by spreading a very onesided and
sophisticated selection of truths. Currently we are caused to believe
that the US was a police state and nobody tells us that the real police
states and the real threat to our freedom are Russia and China and their
intelligence services. The Russian intelligence services are doing
exactly the same surveillance and probably on a much bigger scale, but
unfortunately there is no brave journalist disclosing KGB Leaks.

We are witnessing the sandbagging of America and all patriots need to
check themselves on this. Snowden is not a hero, he is a traitor and a
wannabe spy. He is part of a progressive agenda that is in league with
the Chinese and the Russians, as well as radical Islam. The enemies within are remaking us in the image they desire with America on her knees and in chains.
